Sometimes, the political process makes us all just a bit cynical and jaded — myself included. We look at what the Washington DC establishment — the career politicians, the corporate lobbyists, and the entrenched bureaucracy has brought us, and we throw up our hands, thinking, "they're all the same."
I don't like to yell too loud, or beat my chest. But I want to take a moment to remind you why I am not your typical politician, and why this is not a typical campaign or movement.
Among the many reasons:
What you've just read above is an agenda unlike any politician in the country. While solidly conservative, it also shows first, a great loyalty to the Constitution and to our freedom. You cannot fight for liberty while voting for bills that embolden the state. You cannot fight for some of our founding rights without others. And you cannot enable change in Washington by sending the same old people there.
For anyone who thinks elections don't matter, or all candidates are the same, I urge you to read this one more time. I don't think it's a stretch to say that few candidates running for office this year will so fully embrace this agenda of freedom and prosperity, of fighting the power of the federal government while working to ensure that the rights of Americans are restored.
If you agree, I ask for your help.

This article is long and some points are loose while others compare well. The point I make by sharing such an article is that all country's evolve. All politics and social norms cycle. History class was dismissed by many. I saw cycles in everything. Some cycles were seasonal or within a generation and others were over centuries. But so many cycles exist that I cannot help but look at powerful nations over time, analyze their life-cycle and compare that to our own 200 year old country. A powerful country. A young country. A seasoned country.
We are an old country when you think that none of us are alive that formed the nation. However, we are a very young country when you look at how little experience with avoiding self destruction we have as generations separated with time from the wisdom of our founding grandfathers.
Full title of the original article is, "11 Points Of Comparison Between Life In The United States And Life Under Hitler From A Woman Who Has Experienced Both". Long title.
Have you ever heard of Kitty Werthmann? She was a child when Adolf Hitler took control of her beloved country of Austria and stripped away their freedoms, and she is now speaking out about the chillingly similar loss of freedoms that we are currently experiencing in the United States. It is often said that "those who forget history are doomed to repeat it". So, perhaps we should listen very carefully to what Kitty Werthmann has to say. She has been there. She has lived through it. The truth is that when you do sit down and compare what happened under the Nazi regime and what is happening in the United States today, the parallels are absolutely shocking. The American Dream is not guaranteed for us or for our children. Freedom must be guarded. If not, it will be taken away. In fact, our freedoms are already being stripped away at blinding speed, and once they are gone they are incredibly difficult to get back.
The quotes from Kitty Werthmann that you will read below come from her excellent article entitled "After America, There is No Place to Go". We hope that you will take the time to read that entire article after you read this one. Sometimes it is really important to get some historical perspective in order to understand what is happening today. The following are 11 points of comparison between life in the United States and life under Hitler from a woman who has experienced both....
#1) Severe Economic Crisis
We all know about the severe economic downturn that the United States has just been through. Many economists are calling it the worst financial crisis since the Great Depression. Often, when economic times are really hard, it paves the way for massive "change" to be pushed on a society.
Kitty Werthmann describes the economic conditions just before Hitler took over this way....
In 1938, Austria was in deep Depression. Nearly one-third of our workforce was unemployed. We had 25% inflation and 25% bank loan interest rates.
Farmers and business people were declaring bankruptcy daily. Young people were going from house to house begging for food. Not that they didn't want to work; there simply weren't any jobs. My mother was a Christian woman and believed in helping people in need. Every day we cooked a big kettle of soup and baked bread to feed those poor, hungry people, about 30 daily.
I have sworn upon the altar of God eternal hostility against every form of tyranny over the mind of man.
